The funeral for Bobbi Kristina Brown did not go without some drama, as her aunt on her father’s side left after an outburst occurred during the proceedings.
E! News reported that Leolah Brown, Bobby Brown’s sister, was angered when Pat Houston began speaking during the service. There were reporters outside and the grieving aunt spoke to them before returning to the service.
In a video from NBC’s 11 Live, Leolah walked over to reporters and ranted about Pat, saying “It has just begun.” When asked about her niece’s funeral service, she said “It was wonderful until Pat started speaking.” Brown did not specify what was said that upset her.
Us Weekly reported a source claimed Leolah yelled out, “Whitney is rolling over in her grave! You are so wrong for this, Pat!”
A reporter asked how Bobbi Kristina was being remembered and she responded by saying, “Krissi, she’ll be remembered in our hearts forever” while putting her hands to her heart.
Bobbi Kristina passed away after she was found unconscious in the bathtub of her home in January. She was in a coma for six months before she was moved to hospice care in her final days.
Family members and friends have expressed sorrow of her loss, including Bobby Brown who called his daughter an “angel.”
TMZ reported that Nick Gordon, Bobbi Kristina’s boyfriend, did not attend the service, even though he had made it clear he wished to go pay tribute.
